The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released the new edition of the Form I-864P, HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support. The new edition of the Form I-864P is dated 03/01/18. The HHS poverty guidelines took effect for immigration purposes on that same day. We have uploaded it on site for reference purposes only [PDF version].
The Form I-864P lists the HHS poverty guidelines. The poverty guidelines are mainly relevant in the context of affidavits of support for overcoming the presumption of public charge [see article] and for fee waivers of USCIS forms [see article] and reduced fee requests for naturalization applications [see article].
